Doing consistent cardio and muscle-building work outs is important to positive body changes.But, making changes in your food plan;moving toward clean eating, is a pivotal part of becoming leaner, stronger, and healthier.If you can adapt the philosophy of eating unprocessed foods and replacing them with lean proteins, whole wheat grains, fruits, veggies, and low fat dairy, it will affect your energy level, and help create lean muscle. But, if making these changes seems overwhelming, try to making simple baby steps changes to begin with.

Try a natural brand granola bar ( Kashi) rather than a blueberry muffin ( a small muffin is 250 cal. and 13 grams of fat. That’s NOT the gigundo ones served at Starbucks).

Try low fat feta. You won't taste any difference from the high fat variety . They have improved the taste from when low fat cheese first came out and the products tasted like tire leather.Try low fat/non-fat cottage cheese and Greek yogurt.

Try balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil for salad dressing over cream based dressings. Also, go into the diabetic aisle at grocery, where you can find no-calorie salad dressing made by Waldon Farms. I'd rather use my daily healthy fat oils to make my dinner more delicious rather than Ranch dressing, which can be filled with 120 calories for 2 tablespoons.

Every change that you can make in your daily diet can help you achieve your health and physical goals!
